Playin with the new toy :) Zune HD -> Cosmic Ears HY3

Another option is you could do some Craigslist surfing and pick up a nice vintage stereo amp for cheap. Having a little more juice going to your speakers will improve the sound a bit. Although tbh I don't know the Dayton's or how power hungry they are, so it may not be as much of a gain as with...

My beloved GR06, after many years of use, has finally kicked the bucket.  Thus I am now in the market for a replacement.  I'm mostly looking for something that would be a slight upgrade or even a sidegrade, since I don't really want to spend a bunch on this and I already have a pair of Cosmic...

  Love the simplicity, beautiful setup!

Just got the Schiit Bifrost Uber and Lyr 2 ^.^ loving my HD650 with them!

Some of my favorites-   Groundation - Babylon Rule Dem     Israel Vibration - Rude Boy Shufflin'     Rebelution - Feeling Alright     Slightly Stoopid - Above the Clouds  

  You could also check out the Heir Audio 4.Ai S.  Disclaimer, I also do not own these, but many seem to be saying that they are some of the best universal-fit multi-driver IEM's in the market.  At $299 on their website, they're right at your budget and have a reputation for relative...

Vsonic GR07's would be worth looking into.  They get quite a bit of love on this site and are supposed to punch well above their price point.  I don't own them myself, but I've owned the Vsonic GR06, which is the GR07's little brother, for several years.  The GR06's have been absolutely...

Thanks for your reply, I'll have to check it out.  Also, if the pickings under that price point are really slim, I'd be willing to look at more expensive DAPS, just means I have to save up for a bit longer

Hey Head-fi,   My beloved, 8 year old Zune 120 is wobbling on it's last legs and I don't think it's long for this world.  It's been a great companion for my portable music all these years but I think the time to look elsewhere is coming.     I'm looking for a new DAP to replace it, and would...

I've never listened to the bifrost/valhalla, but I have the Beyer 770 250 ohm that I listen to through a Fiio E10 and Little Dot mkII.  It sounds awesome through that setup, so I imagine it wouldn't be terrible on the schiit stack.

well I went ahead an order the Mad dogs, they should arrive sometime today.  Hope they're good!

Kalyug by Ninth Moon Black is one of my favorites :)

Any more suggestions? Or should I just go with the Mad Dogs?

That's awesome, good to hear!

Hello Head-fi!   I've been browsing here for a while and used all of your excellent recommendations to build a home rig that I'm very happy with and now my office setup needs some updating.  At home I have Fiio e10 -> Little Dot MKII -> HD650 and at work I have Fiio E17 -> O2 -> Cosmic Ears...

If you're interested at all in trying out an entry level tube amp then I would highly recommend the Little Dot MKII.  I think it's around $169 with shipping.  I have Senn HD650's and the beyer dt770's and I love listening to them through the little dot.  I tend to like a little bit warmer, more...

Just got my HY3's after a verrryy long delay!!! Initial fit is good despite a little bit of trouble getting them in and so far the sound is awesome!!! Looking forward to them improving even more after a little burn in :)

My home setup.     Fiio E10 -> Little Dot MKII -> Sennheiser HD650

I'm liking the look of the mrspeakers mad dogs, especially since I'm looking to get rid of my beyer DT 770s and will need a closed headphone to replace them at work
